Everson Hall, Nutrition and Foods Chemistry Laboratory, Home Economics Building. The nutrition and foods chemistry laboratory in the new Home Economics Building on the Davis campus of the University of California. Here students learn composition of food and principles involved in preservation and meal preparation; run chemical tests of protein contents of foods and vitamin determination; and learn the chemistry of digestive processes. In the rear is an incubator for studying yeast fermentation and for growing bacteria used in vitamin determinations, and Kjedahl apparatus for determining the amount of protein in foods.
